METALLICA, MOTÖRHEAD Members Interviewed For New SAXON Documentary; Trailer Available
January 5, 2009U.K.'s Coolhead Productions is working on a new documentary about the legendary British heavy metal band SAXON called "Heavy Metal Thunder - The Movie". The film, which is expected to be released later in the year, will include interviews with members of METALLICA and MOTÖRHEAD.
A two-minute trailer for the documentary can be viewed below.
In other news, SAXON frontman Biff Byford will be interviewed by Nicky Horne on the U.K. digital radio station Planet Rock tomorrow (Tuesday, January 6) at 21.00h GMT. You can listen to the program via the Internet at this location.
Audio samples of all 13 tracks that appear on "Into The Labyrinth", the new album from SAXON, are available at the JPC.de web site.
"Into The Labyrinth" will be released in Europe on January 12, 2009 (Germany: January 9; USA: January 13) via SPV Records. The CD was recorded at the Twilight Hall in Krefeld, Germany, under the direction of Charlie Bauerfeind. SAXON laid down 13 new songs at BLIND GUARDIAN's studio, starting with monumental opener "Battalions Of Steel" through "Demon Sweeney Todd" and "Valley Of The Kings", which both cover historic events, to the final slide guitar blues track "Coming Home" (fans are already familiar with the electric version of this track from SAXON's "Killing Ground" album).
"The new material was written in England and at my house in France," singer Biff Byford explained. "Stylistically, I would describe the album as an even balance between 'Lionheart' and 'The Inner Sanctum', a mix of powerful, in-your-face rock songs and pure heavy metal tracks. We're very happy with the production and proud of 'Into The Labyrinth'."
